Well, not really. He only biked part of the way. From the looks of it, that bike wouldn’t have held up that far, anyway.
On the news today they’ve been reporting on the massive traffic jam caused by people trying to get away from the Texas coast; it’s reportedly taken people hours to drive a few miles. If I were in that situation, and it was simply a matter of getting out of the area (I didn’t need to haul possessions with me), I think I would hop aboard my bike and ride out rather than sit on that parking lot highway for hours. One could get out of there a heck of a lot faster by bicycle than by vehicle.
